Dennis Brutus: the South African years

Tracing the contours of another person's life is a fanciful ambition. Not only does it involve constructing a chronology of certain events, it also encompasses an enquiry into that person's interior world. The notion that it is possible to fully accomplish both tasks is, in some ways, rather preposterous.

Abstract

Tracing the contours of another person's life is a fanciful ambition. Not only does it involve constructing a chronology of certain events, it also encompasses an enquiry into that person's interior world. The notion that it is possible to fully accomplish both tasks is, in some ways, rather preposterous.
